    Illinois Community College Trustees Association Action Alert May 20, 2008

    Illinois Community College Trustees Association Action Alert May 20, 2008 SENATE APPROVES LOCAL CONTROL LEGISLATION This afternoon the Illinois Senate unanimously approved legislation that clarifies that community colleges are units of local government, not state agencies. House Bill 4189, which passed the House several weeks ago with a vote of 91 - 14 - 0, passed the Senate with a vote of 58 - 0 - 0. The bill will soon be sent to the Governor for his action. HB 4189 is ICCTA’s highest priority legislation this year; it reinforces the local control concept and clarifies that community college districts are units of local government under the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act. The bill clearly excludes community college districts from the definition of state agencies and clearly includes community college districts in the definition of units of local government under the Ethics Act. Enacting House Bill 4189 into law would render moot a court case currently pending before the Second Appellate Court. In 2005, a number of community colleges initiated a legal action based on the ambiguity of the definition of a state agency described herein. That case was decided in favor of the community colleges, and an appeal is pending. House sponsors of HB 4189 are: Robert W. Pritchard - William B. Black - Arthur L. Turner - Mike Boland - Kenneth Dunkin, Patricia R. Bellock, Donald L. Moffitt, Elaine Nekritz, Kathleen A. Ryg, Suzanne Bassi and JoAnn D. Osmond. Senate sponsors of HB 4189 are: Edward D. Maloney, Dale E. Risinger - Kimberly A. Lightford - Christine Radogno, Todd Sieben, David Luechtefeld, James F. Clayborne Jr., Kirk W.

  • The Cost of Illinois' Lawmakers POLICY ILLINOIS

    The Cost of Illinois' Lawmakers POLICY ILLINOIS

    ILLINOIS POLICY INSTITUTE SUMMER 2016 SPECIAL REPORT BUDGET + TAX The cost of Illinois’ lawmakers By John Klingner, Policy Analyst, Ted Dabrowski, Vice President of Policy, and Brendan Bakala, Research Associate Additional resources: illinoispolicy.org ILLINOIS 190 S. LaSalle St., Suite 1500, Chicago, IL 60603 | 312.346.5700 | 802 S. 2nd St., Springfield, IL 62704 | 217.528.8800 POLICY Introduction The Illinois General Assembly failed to pass a full budget for fiscal year 2016 and only passed a stopgap budget for fiscal year 2017. State politicians have done nothing to stop Illinois’ unpaid bills from growing or its credit rating from falling.1 They’ve failed to pass comprehensive spending, pension and economic reforms to prevent Illinois’ fiscal collapse. Yet despite these politicians’ inaction on critical problems plaguing the state, Illinois taxpayers are still forced to pay for the cost of their legislature. In 2015, each Illinois lawmaker cost taxpayers nearly $68,000 in base pay alone, far more than lawmakers in neighboring states and more than twice what lawmakers in Iowa and Indiana earn.2 In fact, Illinois lawmakers pay themselves the fifth-highest annual lawmaker base salary in the country. 3 On top of those salaries, the total cost of Illinois lawmakers also includes generous state- provided health care, dental and earned pension benefits. Taxpayers also pay for per diem costs and mileage reimbursements when politicians are in session.4 The average total operating cost to taxpayers per active Illinois lawmaker equaled more than $100,000 in 2015 – all for what is essentially part-time work.5 The regular legislative session only runs from January through May, and most lawmakers maintain careers outside their work in the General Assembly.

    2020 Illinois General Election Results

    2020 Illinois General Election Results DISCLAIMER: All noted races below have not been certified by the Illinois State Board of Elections and are subject to change. With the massive upswing of mail-in-voting this year, it is HIGHLY likely that many races will not be final until all ballots are in. In Illinois, ballots that are post-marked for Election Day have 2 weeks from Election Day to arrive and be counted. As a result, many of the close races noted below could change and we have marked some races as too close to call. The University of Illinois System Office of Governmental Relations will keep you updated as the Illinois State Board of Elections updates these races. Note, the State board of Elections has listed December 4th as its date to certify the vote and publish official results. GRADUATED INCOME TAX AMENDMENT The constitutional amendment allowing the State of Illinois to implement a Graduated Income Tax failed at the ballot box with a vote of roughly 45% in favor and 55% opposed. The constitutional amendment needed a simple majority of all voters in the election to pass it or 60% of people who specifically voted on the amendment. The FY 21 budget negotiated on and passed in May was balanced, in part, on the projected revenues from the new graduated income tax. The consequences of this could be severe for higher education funding, as Gov. Pritzker has noted that there will need to be major cuts to public safety, education and human services in order to close the budget gap.
